rate lowering drugs RandomIzed parallel-group Comparison study in the Chronic Kidney Disease patients with hypertension and hyperuricemia

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Chronic kidney disease with hyperuricemia and hypertension

• Registration Number: JPRN-UMIN000026847
• Lead Sponsor: Dialysis Unit, University Hospital of the Ryukyus

Brief Summary

There were no significant differences in the rate of change in eGFR between the groups by week 52 after initiation of treatment. Febuxostat significantly reduced xanthine oxidase activity compared to benzbromarone. There were no significant differences between the groups in the other secondary endpoints of blood pressure, albuminuria, inflammation, oxidative stress, and renal renin-angiotensin system markers.

Exclusion Criteria

1) History of hypersensitivity to febuxostat or benzbromarone 2) AST or ALT is more than twice the upper limit of institutional normal range 3) eGFR <30ml/min/1.73m2 or dialysis patients. 4) Under treatment with thiazide diuretics or loop diuretics 5) History of treatment with urate lowering drugs within 2 weeks before determination of eligibility 6) History of coronary heart disease within 3 month before determination of eligibility 7) Patients with neoplasm, History of neoplasm except for the cured patients without recurrence within 5 years before determination of eligibility 8) Under treatment with the following: mercaptopurine,azathioprine, pyrazinamide, ethanbutol 9) Under treatment with warfarin 10) Women who are or may be pregnant, or brest-feeding 11) Participants of other clinical trials within 6 month before determination of eligibility 12) Urolithiasis 13) A patient who are judged inadequate for enrollment by an attending physician 14) A patient whose serum uric acid level is equal to or less than 7 mg/dl at Visit2 after randomization 15) A patient has been suffered from any of following: acute myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome, patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting, vetricular tachycarida, mutifocal ventricular arrhythmia and acute heart failure within three months before the eligibility assessment. This exclusion criteria was added since recent study suggested febuxostat may be associated with increased cardiovascular mortality compared with allopurinol among gout patients with major cardiovascular disease (N Engl J Med 2018;378:1200-10)
